UNSPSC 52101505: Synthetic rugs

UNSPSC 52101505 Synthetic rugs is a Commodity code covering carpet tile, roll carpet, and carpet base materials that state and local governments purchase for facility renovation and routine maintenance across diverse building types. Recent solicitations show state and local entities buying modular carpet tile and roll carpet for installation in offices, courtrooms, schools, civic centers, and public housing, typically bundling purchase with professional installation labor. The work includes floor preparation, existing material removal and disposal, adhesive application, and base/trim installation to manufacturer and building specifications. Issuing bodies span city procurement departments, county courts, school districts, transit and convention authorities, and public housing agencies, with several repeat solicitors (Columbus Consolidated Government, Superior Court of California County of Butte) appearing multiple times in recent activity. Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction—Georgia World Congress Center Authority, the City of Meriden, and Hillsborough County Public Schools all structure opportunities with small-business, minority-owned, women-owned, or disabled-veteran preferences; some solicitations impose prevailing wage and Davis-Bacon compliance requirements tied to federal funding.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, California, Florida, Texas, Connecticut, and Wisconsin. Representative opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFB No. 27-0015 for roll carpet, tile carpet, and installation across city and county facilities (due November 18, 2026), with a local-vendor preference and two-year contract term plus three optional renewals; the City of San Antonio's IFB for carpet purchase and installation at the Frank Wing Building (due October 28, 2026) with a pre-bid conference on October 21; Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITB 26190-MST for flooring materials and services across 235 schools covering carpet tile, vinyl, and epoxy (bids due August 6, 2026), encouraging SBE participation; the Superior Court of California, County of Butte's IFB SP-2026-0023 for carpet tile installation at the North Butte County Courthouse with a 3 percent DVBE preference (due September 15, 2026); Georgia World Congress Center Authority's IFB for carpet replacement in Building C (due August 3, 2026, with mandatory pre-bid July 20); and the City of Meriden's project to replace media center flooring at Platt High School (due June 3, 2026) under Connecticut set-aside and prevailing wage rules.
